<div class="IPBDescription">Purple checkers</div> I made a custom wad that has only 1 texture in it using wally.

I Used the wad in hammer where it displays properly.

Compiled the map.

placed the compiled map & the custom wad in their respecitive directories.

now i get purple checkers on that 1 wad.

I have a few other custom wads on that map that i made and they have no probs.

any ideas?

    Taken from my grossly overlooked *STICKIED* Common Errors Thread...

    This means the compiler cannot find the wads that the editor/map file is asking for. For me it has occured when I try to compile my map from a drive other then the one where my WADs reside. Also it may mean you need to place your WADs in the compile tools directory. (Wherever hlcsg, hlbsp, etc. resides.) Occassionaly your map won't even run and instead you'll get Bad Surface Extents (see above.) Make sure this line is not in your compile log under CSG before you heed any other advice for Bad Surface Extents:

    If these all check out then check the paths in your map file. Just open it up in Notepad (or any other basic text editor.)

    The first few lines specify things like Max_View_Distance and a little further below... the WADs.

    Make sure these are pointing to the right WADs and that these WADs do infact exist.
